Yup, 2 years 2 months now. Interesting that ORD is where the most junior CA got awarded. It looks like DTW went nowhere near as junior as expected.

Heck they're up to a guy with a 48000 number as a CA now! Amazing.

Cruz, what happened? Where was your bid for?

Thats so bizarre. I got an msp transfer but I'd have more people behind me in Chicago? Craycray

The bid would have to be in for any training to proceed at all, right? Or can captain awards be granted to anyone whose seniority is up for the turn?

Yes you gotta bid. Many don't want to upgrade. And thats fine.

Are you a 175 FO? I'm in the same boat. Junior guys awarded ORD CRJ CA, which I wanted.

I'm thinking they might be holding us 175 fo's for 'staffing'. Or the bid just isn't complete yet...

If you're not seatlocked, that is a bypass, make sure VD tells you this in writing. If your bid was in for that you should get paid accordingly.

As I typed, I got the bypassed upgrade message from Virginia. Looks like there's a bunch of us they are holding back for 175 staffing. Even though we have 65% reserve staffing in ORD.

Lame, looking at the awards it seems they only awarded about 25 175 CA transitions and upgrades when T.T. was crowing about having 36. I'm sure new-hires are getting that sim time.

Seriously? First they bypass CRJ FOs and now this?
